According to the Los Angeles Times, Howard is expected to play tomorrow versus the Detroit Pistons:

Lakers center Dwight Howard is expected to play Sunday against Detroit after making a quick trip to Los Angeles for a minor shoulder procedure.

“He’s going to give it a go,” said a person familiar with the situation.

If he can’t play tomorrow, Mark Medina spoke to a source who said he’ll definitely play in Brooklyn on Tuesday:

The Lakers are officially listing him as a game-time decision and his recovery as day-to-day, but one source familiar with the situation said Howard will at least return Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets.

“For sure, he will play in Brooklyn,” the source said.

Howard re-aggrevated a torn labrum in his right shoulder on Wednesday night during a loss to the Phoenix Suns.
